Foreign Policy

Liechtenstein focuses its foreign policy on areas where a microstate can have outsized impact: international criminal justice, the rule of law, human rights, and self-determination. It is a consistent champion of the ICC and has led initiatives on the crime of aggression.

The country maintains close ties with Switzerland and Austria while engaging internationally through the EEA, EFTA, the Council of Europe, and the UN. Liechtenstein has launched the Liechtenstein Initiative on finance against slavery and trafficking, demonstrating its focus on using financial sector expertise for humanitarian ends.

MUN Delegate Guide

As Liechtenstein, demonstrate that small states can shape international norms. Focus on the rule of law, international criminal justice, and human rights -- areas where your country has genuine expertise and influence.

Coordinate with Switzerland and Austria on regional matters, and with other small states (Monaco, San Marino, Andorra) to form microstate coalitions. In larger debates, align with the EU consensus via your EEA membership.

Champion the ICC, anti-trafficking initiatives, and the rights of small states in multilateral institutions. Your financial sector expertise gives you credibility on anti-money laundering and illicit finance topics. Avoid overreaching on security or military issues where microstates have limited standing.
